Hi, I’m Jayne.
You might be navigating the loss of a relationship or someone close to you, feeling stuck in a situation that no longer fits, or carrying a weight that’s hard to name. Life can look fine on the outside, but inside feel unsettled or quietly overwhelming.
I support people who may appear to be coping on the outside, but feel overwhelmed or stuck underneath — including those who have felt misunderstood or under pressure to manage alone. These feelings might follow loss, relationship endings, or work-related stress, or a long-standing sense that something isn’t quite right.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stressed?
Taking that first step to see a counsellor can be nerve-wracking and it's completely understandable to feel anxious (I felt the same way too). However, once you start sharing your thoughts and feelings, it can bring a sense of relief to have someone listen and you will be at centre of the work.

Anxiety Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
